Wie bunte Fetzen hängen wir im Wind (2014)

In the project “Wie bundle Fetzen hängen wir im Wind” I explored abstract narrative structures: with a private photo archive as raw material I worked with the overlapping of two and two layers, raising the question: what does it means to be doubly exposed? The installation in its finished form consists of montages, archival news phootage and textile works, and examines the understanding of the individual in modern society. The title “Wie bundle Fetzen hängen wir im Wind” (As colorful rags we hang in the wind), refers to Montaigne’s essay in which he describes identity as something we move in and out of and which is constantly changing.
